Using Mitches Military Models excellent Falklands bust as a starting point, I swapped heads with another MMM figure, (Hero of the Soviet Union) that I bought second hand and am converting it to a Gurkha wearing the ubiquitous cold weather hat. I'm relying on pics on the internet for reference but think i have a basic idea. I cut off the Russian hat, added a dollop of putty for the top part and scribed in the six panels. I then added the lower side/back piece and added a little texture to show the pile lining. I also added the lower front piece with a little texture showing. Tomorrow Ill add the big ear flaps in the down position and then the big front flap in the raised up position.
Im not sure the face needs any re-modelling; Im hoping it will look ethnically correct as it is. Im experimenting as I go so may change things.as I go along.
Obviously things look pretty rough at this point but I hope you can see what Im aiming for and please let me know if there are any errors. Cheers.
